1870 Eldred, Warren County, Pennsylvania Winnie's

Migration research

I can find no trace of the Louis & Eunice (Raner) Winnie family between 1860 to 1871. I know that their daughter was married in Pennsylvania in 1871 and apparently had a few kids there, and that Louis bought land in 1871 in Knox County, Tennessee. Why did they drop through Pennsylvania? And are they hiding in the Warren County census somewhere?

Lizy Dewillegar

Dewillegar affidavit

In the witness section of Eunice's pension application for her son, James, an Eliza Dewillegar said she knew Eunice since James (Eunice and Lewis' first born) was 3 months old.

In the 1880 census from the 6th district of Crossville, Cumberland, TN, living with Louis and Eunice is Lizy Dovelger, "sister". Census recorders weren't the most accurate in their descriptions; I've had ancestors in the past be described as brothers or sisters when in fact they were in-laws. The information that I have on Lewis' family does not include a sister Lizy, or any sister at all, actually. So to whomever she may be related - whether she's a sister or a sister-in-law, I'm trying to track her down and hoping she will lead me to much more information. Besides, it's fun.
